Translations of Quran 21:36
EnglishTalal Itani

When those who disbelieve see you, they treat you only with ridicule: “Is this the one who mentions your gods?” And they reject the mention of the Merciful.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

And when those who disbelieve behold thee, they but choose thee out for mockery, (saying): Is this he who maketh mention of your gods? And they would deny all mention of the Beneficent.

O küfredenler seni gördükleri vakıt da seni alaya tutuyorlar, bu mu ilâhlarınızı anıp duran diyorlar, halbuki onlar hep rahmânın zikrine küfrediyorlar

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Lorsque les infidèles te voient, ils te prennent pour l’objet de leurs railleries. Est-ce cet homme, disent-ils, qui parle de vos dieux avec mépris ? Quant à eux, ils ne croient pas à ce qu’on dit du Miséricordieux.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Als de ongeloovigen u zien, ontvangen zij u slechts met spotternij, zeggende: Is dit dezelfde die met verachting van uwe goden spreekt? Maar zij zelven gelooven niet wat hun omtrent den Barmhartige wordt medegedeeld.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Quando gl’infedeli ti vedono, ti deridono. È quest’uomo, dicono, che parla de’ vostri Dii (con dispezzo)? In quanto ad essi, non credono a ciò che si dice del Misericordioso.
